To really understand what a subnet is, you need to understand the original IP addressing scheme called 'classful addressing'. The original classful IP addressing scheme created networks of varying sizes and identified the class, and therefore the size of the network using the first four bits of the IP address.

On TCP/IP networks, subnets are defined as all devices whose IP addresses have the same prefix. For example, all devices with IP addresses that start with 100.100.100. would be part of the same subnet. Dividing a network into subnets is useful for both security and ... IP networks are divided using a subnet mask.

Subnet masks are used only by systems that need to communicate with the network directly. For example, external systems do not need to be aware of the subnet masks in use on your internal networks, since those systems will route data to your networks by way of your parent network's address block.
